Political rotation took place in Victor Yushchenko’s team, as a result of which the place of Yulia Timoshenko has been occupied by Leonid Kuchma and Victor Yanukovich. In such a way Nickolay Tomenko commented on signature of political Memorandum between President and the leader of Party of Regions.
In Tomenko’s opinion, the main political forces, which decided PM’s fate, were team of Leonid Kuchma, represented in VR by his son-in-law Victor Pinchuk, and “Regions of Ukraine” of Victor Yanukovich.
According to him, it is possible to come to two conclusions. “First of all, President’s team betrayed values of revolutionary Maidan, as the key demands of it were calls “Kuchma and Yanukovich – get out”, but not the present one “Kuchma and Yanukovich – yes!”. Secondly, it can be surmised that except of formal terms of Memorandum, the power has promised to close all criminal cases concerning Kuchma’s regime as a guarantee for today’s voting for Yekhanurov’s candidature," said Tomenko.
